Hi Marco:
We agree on many points. For example:
. Monopoly is static, competition is dynamic.
. The ideal is to obtain static and dynamic simultaneously.
. Monopoly is our common enemy.
. It's good that the government of Italy is initiating the biggest program
of privatizations in Europe.
. The communists deleted the individual in the name of fundamental
equality.
. We support individual freedom against any social constriction
(including government). We are libertarians at heart.
We disagree on a few points:
.Government monopolies are far worse than private ones because they
are able to enforce their monopoly at gunpoint.
. Government monopolies rarely allow the taxes collected to support
them from being used by competitiors, thus eliminating serious
competition. (Public schools, universal health systems being
examples.)
. There is nothing inherently excellent in nonprofit organizations such
as Greenpeace or Amnesty International. Nor are artists on the left-
wing automatically superior to ones on the right.
. You propose that everyone "claim care." I know of no way to acheive
that goal without imposing force on someone. The beauty of the free
market is that if you are not getting the "care" you want from one place,
you go to another. Or start up your own business to provide the "care"
you can't get anywhere else.
On balance I think we agree more than not. In bold captial letters you
stated, "I am not a socialist." Neither am I. From there on we are merely
quibbling over details.
But beauty. Ah. Now there's a quality we enthusiastically share without
any reservations whatsoever.
Platt
